Surprise Star on "Britain's Got Talent"

Susan Boyle was set up to fail. The 47-year-old bushy-eyed
Britain’s Got Talent contestant sure didn’t play the part of pretty pop star for this recent audition (She's never even been kissed!) But, just when it seemed the daffy UK church worker couldn’t embarrass herself any more, she started to sing her rendition of "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables. To the astonishment of the audience, millions of viewers and Simon Cowell himself, a star has been born.

(Ed note: If you're the sentimental type, you might want to keep tissue handy.)
